WOW! That is pretty! You did a beautiful job.

Thanks, I was wondering what it was. Now to figure out how to use it. LoL! This is so much fun. ;-)

I also need manuals for her too. :) Thanks for any help.

I forgot to mention, I got her for $11.50. But she needs work!

Sharon

I am attaching some pictures of her :)
Nice looking machine. Kathie

Just one and they used a Japanese 15! I have the article on how to do it and I was working on my version of the machine when I got side tracked and put it away. It is pretty easy to do if you have a access to a machine shop or have metal working skills.

Charlee, great job on your Queen Ann and restoration to your "Lady"!! I was just thinking of you this past weekend when I had my box of attachments laid out :)

Glenn, all I can say is WOWZA ~ I wanted to wait until you finished yours before I started on mine. I am going to try and carefully strip around the Singer decal so that I don't have to repaint it. If my turns out half as nice as yours I am going to be one happy camper. I think the lady who gave you that SM is going to be amazed!!

Singer Foot Controller

Three hole on plug


Label on Back states:
volts 95-145
Part No. 194584

Good used condition
On Ebay .... 5 days left 2 bids price @ $10.50
That should work with your machine Rose... My 99 is nearly like it, but has a knee lever so the foot pedal part wouldn't work with mine...
If you buy it and it doesn't work, let me know!! ;)
Thanks Charlee, I posted a bid and will see how it goes from here.

Thanks Judy, I wish I had a decal to save good luck with your case. We restorers and refinishers really hate that old antique paint kits that everyone used years ago. It is one of the hardest finishes to strip. Place wax paper over the logo and tape around the paper so no tape will touch the decal. If you tape on the decal it will pull it off. Have fun. Glenn
